Berlin : Defender Marc Bartra played his first game on Saturday since fracturing his wrist in a bomb attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus on April 11.
The 26-year-old Spaniard started Dortmund’s final Bundesliga game of the season at home to Werder Bremen.
It was his first appearance since surgery after fracturing his right wrist when three bombs hit Dortmund’s bus on the way to their Champions League quarter-final at home to Monaco last month.
With Bartra in hospital, Dortmund played the first-leg less than 24 hours after the attack, losing 3-2 to Monaco eventually losing 6-3 on aggregate to the French league side. Bartra was released from hospital four days after the bomb blast. The same day, his team-mates held his number five shirt aloft as they celebrated in front of their home fans after their their 3-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on April 15.
